E73 slow afte switch from wifi 2 3g/2.5G edge

I like my e73 that i got a part of t-mobile upgrade with full price option. 

 

i like the fact that it quickly connected to the web etc usnig WiFi inside my house - i had some hiccups connecting at other places and checking my gmail using WAP.

 

but a bigger problem, when i head out of my house - my e73 phone goes from wifi (pink hotspot tmobile circle) to 3g - i live in dallas fort worth metro area.  i see many bars (horizontal lines stacked) to show a good 3g reception.

 

after i have crossed the street corner, my cell phone is not able to go through the contacts book to call someone.  as soon as i reboot the cell ph, it is all normal.

 

making contacts, other folders run on memory card memory, did not fix it.

 

i have hte latest patches - all got thro wifi.

 

any help will be appreciated.

 

regards

ravi.

Re: E73 slow afte switch from wifi 2 3g/2.5G edge

One Mr. James at T-Mobile store helped me out.  he told me the following:

 

1. DO NOT Save any wifi connection names  - he asked me to delete all the wifi connection IDs  and

 

2. Switch off Wifi  before leaving the house/bookshop - by selecting the Connected to MyHomeWLS and opening the wifi menu to turn the connection off.

 

these 2 'WORK AROUNDS' fixed it.  BUT it really stinks.

 

With my 2008 model blackberry curve, i used to save all my wifi connections of my friends with KEY (at least 20 ids) and bb used to connect without a hitch and complaints.

 

i do not know why NOKIA phones have wifi issue problem.  any NOKIA staff memebr reading this.  i will forward it to someone who works at NOKIA, Irving, TX,

 

hope it helps someone.

I finally solved this problem !!!  When in the browser, 1.  go to Options; 2. Settings; General; Access Point; Change to GAN.
